No - it means that if we want to get more supplies of 240v Z-Wave then we
may have to basically order enough in one hit for them to do a full
production run for us as there is no more 240v Z-Wave kit out there that we
can find ... Certainly no-one is distributing any.

> Will that get costs any lower?

I love the addiction that people have with lowering prices - there's no kit
out there for love nor money but yas always want it cheaper! :-D

> How long till you can go into production?

Depends - if the minimum runs are 10,000 units then probably never - even
at
1,000 units minimum it's a huge outlay for Mike if he does want to proceed
that way. At the moment there's not the demand to be able to justify that
kind of outlay so it's a case of trying to find a more cost effective route
to get some Z-Wave kit in.

> Looks like x10 can be gradually replaced for future projects!

Not without a supply of product...
